OLD ACCOUNTApr 4, 2017

reading a bunch of comments about Mastodon on tech news sites about how it "will never succeed" or will go extinct. Problem is, that defines Mastodon's success in the metrics of Silicon Valley VC. The point of Mastodon does not appear to be a growth -> exit -> brand vehicle strategy that Twitter has been struggling with.

I'm having a good time here. Isn't that success enough?

@PolymerWitch Having an ecosystem of community/volunteer run servers in this fediverse seems to be something that is very baffling to a lot of people. "No ads, so it'll die" is something I have seen a lot too.

@PolymerWitch People decry ads, but then defend services that harvest info and shove them in our face. It's so strange. xD
